Unlimited Martial Arts NYC 505 Union Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

"I just reached my one year anniversary at UMA and couldn't be more happy/proud. The core philosophy to "Be Unlimited" is in the name of the school and they practice what they preach. I thought it seemed ambitious to offer so many different martial arts under the same roof but I quickly learned how each art can feed into one another. Each instructor is not only a highly qualified martial artist in their program (and often of many) but also an excellent instructor. They offer transparent pricing and a very low commitment contract so don't be shy. Sifu Phil Cruz has assembled a super team of mentors to guide you on your journey. He runs a gym based on community, inclusion, respect, and continues to innovate on techniques and offerings. I highly recommend taking JKD classes, the philosophical foundation of the school, with instructors Phil, Kristen, and Hannah. Within JKD you will get a large breadth of tools to use to make you a multidimensional martial artist. Kru Paul runs a top notch Muay Thai and boxing program with the CV to back it up. Midway through my journey to date, I started doing BJJ with coach Fernando and I regret every day I delayed joining his program. Each instructor gives you a diverse perspective with an average of 20 years of experience at the highest quality instruction. They love and care about what they do and what their students are capable of achieving. This atmosphere is instilled into the students (your training partners) and is highly contagious. When you put in the work, you do not only learn how to fight/defend, you can also learn to be a better listener, learner, partner, and version of yourself through self reflection. I highly recommend this school and am deeply grateful for the people that run it."

"UMA is a great place to train. The vibe is very welcoming! Really can't express enough how fantastic and patient the instructors are. I highly recommend joining/checking it out. As a BJJ student, I'm so appreciative of UMA. Coach Fernando's teaching is phenomenal. It's had a huge impact in my life and deepened my relationship with BJJ."

"Fantastic place to train. The staff is very accommodating of all skill levels and hold classes that provide both an excellent martial arts training as well as an intense workout. I can not recommend UMA highly enough for beginner, intermediate, or advanced individuals."

"At this school, for half a year, I took a muay thai class from Paul and a JKD class from Hannah three times a week. This is a very special community in Williamsburg, because based on their background, not only are the teachers competent in their martial arts domains, but perhaps more importantly, they are extremely interested and supportive of each student's individual martial arts journey. In addition to the pedagogical excellence, most of the students here consist of regular attendees, and I felt more welcome by this very friendly and supportive community than any group I had been part of during my decade in NYC. If you are like me and had never taken a martial arts class before, but always seemed intrigued by it whenever you saw people sparring with their boxing gloves at McCarren Park, there is no better place than here to take your first steps."

"LOVE THIS PLACE! I've been training martial arts for the past 3 years and I love the space and vibes Sifu Cruz and Fontana have created at UMA. The place itself it's gorgeous with lots of art work and it's super clean. Schedule is great and all the instructors are very kind and passionate, love Krav Maga, Bjj and Battle Ready! They offer kids class as well and all levels students are welcomed! Definitely proud to be part of UMA."
